Edith Lake Fishing Guide, Timiskaming District, Ontario

• Overview

  Edith Lake is one of the Timiskaming District listings for Ontario. It sits in lake country bush. Roughly 18 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. The full circuit measures close to 3.1 km on foot. For a base, Englehart sits 70 km out. Greater Sudbury is the closest city, 133 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Edith Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Timiskaming District records list brook trout, northern pike, yellow perch, Iowa darter and walleye among the fish reported. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Edith Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -16°C to 17°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Plan around that when you fish Edith Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Dinny Lake, 1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Edith Lake for certain.
